USA-7 Good saves, no arguments..............

What about his god awful distribution where he struggles to keep the ball in the white lines?

Apart from that we were very very good with Gunnarssen (amazed I know) having a great gaem.

Still plenty of strengthening required January.

Have to agree with regards to Hahnemanns distribution again, was woeful possibly worse than usual.

My worry after this game is that we put a decent run together and Coppell decides there isn't as much strengthening needed as he thought, because there is

[The Surgeon of Crowthorne]

Why does a goal have to be someones fault?? Last week Kitson scored a similar goal against 'Boro, I did not see the folk here saying it was a defensive error.

But it was though - Woodgate was at fault for that one.

I thought his distribution was actually much improved, mainly because he looked to roll the ball out far more often than in the past.

Indeed.

In fact if you look at the vast majority of goals, you can pinpoint a mistake made by the defending side that leads to the goal.

Hmmm not sure which Goalkeeper you were watching. I actually lost count the amount of times he just lumped the ball out of play.

Have a feeling this will be his last season as our Number 1 anyhow.

I am amazed some people are giving Kitson a lowish rating - he was my MOTM; was a constant threat on long balls, worked his socks off as usual. There was a point midway through the first half when Benitez told his defence to put two men on him every long ball ... and he still managed to win headers. Awesome. And did anyone see the little Ronaldo'eque step-over in the penalty area in the first half?

[brendywendy]

hanneman only kicked it out once or twice
a great improvement, nice to see him rolling it out too, even with pool players in close attendance
and i cant believe some people are coming on still slagging players who had good games on saturday
marcus, bobby, sonks, ivar, hunty, harps, brynn- take a bow

I agree... have sadly watched the game three times now (not much to do this weekend!!) and I really cannot see why people are slating the keepers distribution.

He looked to roll it out to the full backs more than usual and he hardly ever kicked it out of play when not under pressure unlike the 5 or 6 he normally does a match. Cant fault him with the goal and also made some good saves.

Why is it the same people come in for critisism week in and week out?

This week we cant slate Hunt or Gunnar as Hunty played well enough and scored and Gunnar made the first and also played well, so who is left to slate, oh yes Marcus.

I thought if anyone out of the whole team didnt have a good game it was Kit's his touch was bad this week and he never really looked at the races.

And to those who slag of Inga after his performance.. you really know nothing about football. Inga was spot on this week against a very very good attack.

I think it is you sir who was watching a different keeper... If you have Setanta then watch the game again on LFC Tv this week and then stand corrected

I was watching the bald American bloke who were you watching?

He very rarely kicked the ball away on Saturday preferring to look for a roll out to one of the full backs, the way we used to play.

He only kicked up field when there was no option available.

My only grumble with his performance on Saturday was that he failed to come for a couple of balls that should have been his, but that was all.

I've sky +'d the game so will hopefully get the chance to watch again tonight but I thought his kicking was bad, especially when the ball was passed back to him. However I do agree that he looked to roll the ball out more than usual which was encouraging.

Am I getting old and my memory going or did Marcus not be fairly capable with crosses... I know he is getting older, but as you say, he doesnt really seem to want to come and get them any more.

Maybe he's turned into a vampire and he's now afraid of crosses?

[Stranded]

It's a confidence thing I think.

When a keepers confidence is a bit low, they tend to stick to the percentages and stay on their line more rather than take a risk in coming for the ball.

[Gordons Cumming]

The supporter who was featured in the Observer , I think, gave a very biased scoring to our players.

Mostly 9's and a 10 for Doyle.




Fair?

I wasn't there unfortunately.

[brendywendy]

we were very very good with Gunnarssen (amazed I know) having a great gaem.

Gunnarson was surprisingly good, I was shocked to see him put in a couple of accurate crosses.
I think part of his performance was down to the relatively slow pace of some of the liverpool players making him look good.
He also had a left-footed shot that almost went in

i hate you all you bunch o' arse

hes a great player for us, has been for 2+ seasons
never been the quickest, but works tirelessly, gets more than his fair share of crucial goals, tackles hard, gets forward

does get caught in possession occasionally, but to blame him when our team malfunctions doesnt really cut it IMO

still need some competition in there with him and harps, but brynn is a great lad, and i hope he continues to ram the whingers words down their throats

Clearly you are a Gunnar fan, but you have to admit he upped his game on Saturday and was twice the player he has been in most games this year

As well as he played, he still seemed absolutely knackered after 75 minutes - IMHO that's the biggest problem with him, the ability to last a full 90+ minutes.

Convey looked equally knackered, but with the few matches he's played recently that's more understandable.

[West Stand Flash]

Yes Gunnarssen has been a very good signing over the large scheme of things, but he has been caught out this season. He is not good enough to play for us week in week out as a centre midfielder. We need better players than him if we want to stay in the league & improve, rather than going backwards.

He was close to MOTM for me on Saturday, but that doesn't make up for his dozen or so very POOR performances this season.
